This cake came out great the 1st time I made it! The cake did not soak up all the milks but it just added to the presentation. It was moist, just the right touch with the banana, frosting was sweet. Just a good cake all around and I will be making it again!

Thought this one was just okay. The flavors were good, but was unhappy because the tres leches part of the recipe did not fully soak into the cake, even after letting it sit for 24 hours. I think this one will be saved for ordering dessert if we're out to eat.

I have made this cake twice, the first time I made it with the frosting called for and the second time I used cool whip. Everyone liked it better with the cool whip! This is an awesome cake!
